oh I am getting one of these a camo looking roomba

and this gives me time to eat breakfast and goto work.......

Does this work on carpet?

excellent! i have been waiting for this!

uhh... 4 hrs for this? I don't think so

For those just now rejoining the wootoff, a relatively recent update to my sound screeching alerter program is up on my website now.

Clickity for the Release Notes

(FYI: It will probably be a while before another new version is announced unless there's some minor bugfixes.)

Blah, this is a woot I'd get, but my bank account only has $100 in it

Bought this 5/31 on W00T for the same price.

It's well worth the money!!!!!

Did anyone get one of these a week or so ago when they were on? I am looking for something to try and help keep the siberian husky hair in check

I hear these do work good on carpet, but are no good with pet hair/fur.

Didn't I see this last week? Hopefully they sold most of them then.

From what I hear my carpet is too thick for this thing to handle.

yes!!!

Just got this the last time it was on woot, and I LOVE IT. I have to lock the dogs up, but it's freaking fantastic.

They pick up pet hair but don't "sense" it

I'm supprised these don't sell out quicker. Last time I picked up 3 for gifts. It's probably the only time you can get away with giving a vacuum cleaner as a gift is when it does the work for you.

For anyone buying this!!!

there's a really good "generic" instructions manual (WAY better than the included one) available here

this works great on carpet and with animal hair. However, the sage is the old model. I bought a Discovery for $170 from sharper image a few months ago with a $100 off $200 or more coupon. The roomba is a fun little guy, but this isn't an amazing price for a sage. And now....there is always the scooba for you hard wood floor folk

I bought this last time it was up. I have two Rotweilers and hardwood floors. This this is amazing when it comes to getting the hair up, specially since it gets under tables and chairs. On carpets it's ok, not as good as an upright. So, if you have hardwoods and a dog this is for you.

it works on hardword floors very well, especially with stuff like broken pasta and rice!

I've got wood floors and I'd dare to say it works even better on those. Works well one what tile I have left even the slightly uneven ones.

EDIT:

Plus I have 2 cats (one with very long hair) and a dog, picks up the tumble weeds and everything.

I thought Woot Offs were supposed to be less $$ than what woot originally sold the items. These are the same prices....what's the point?

"iRobot Roomba Sage" on Froogle is $260 to $199.

I've been looking for a new one at a good price...mine is one of the 1st gen Roomba's and it's dying...yeah Woot!! enabling my lazyiness!

that invariably gives 4105, while this is the 4110...

Woot Killa. This may be worse than the Net Gear Router yesterday. I should be able to get drunk and sober up just in time for the last purchase of Roomba.

I'm thinking of getting this, but am concerned with the amazon reviews that say it doesn't last over a year. There's two, specifically, that state that the battery does not hold a charge after 6+ months, so that's a $50 replacement. And then two reviews state that the brush broke before the year was up.

Bah, I'll get it anyway....on impulse and speculative joy of seeing this thing bounce about my flat!

I just bought a roomba for the same price but a lesser model. (No home Base.) SO this is great the other one is in the mail I am going to return that baby. Also on other websites it says 2 wall units come with on here it says one. Is that true

Since uplateanyway is in bed..

Note: This post contains pricing information for future reference because it is generally not available elsewhere once the next Woot has been offered.

The other websites I found all sell the 4105, this is the 4110..

My Roomba Discovery + My studio apartment = A very happy me.

On carpet and in the kitchen. It always does a great job cleaning my apartment. For anyone who works too much like me, I endorse this product.

I also endorse going out and getting a $0.35 pair of googly eyes, to enable the seldom referenced "companionship" function.

My first woot! Always wanted one of these robot errrr things. Hope it isn't too noisy.

I LOVE my Roomba! I just got it last time it was offered. It works great, does not get stuck, does not frighten the animals, does a great job. I have 4 cats one of whom has very long and constantly shedding hair. It picked up hair nicely.

Before anyone asks, no, it does not do corners, but then, I have not yet found a vac that really did.

It takes a long time to clean a room, but I have better things to do, so I don't mind. I have not seen it dock itself yet, so I do not know how that works. Being incredibly lazy and constantly overbooked, I needed a maid. This roomba needs to have a maid's outfit because it serves quite well. Now, if only it would cook.

What do you think?

I got my first one for woot and it's been almost 6 months now without a single issue. Need to make sure you clean it after each use, especially with animals. My cat's hair gets embedded in all the vacuums we've had but this one at least is easier at cleanup.

I've done my part in continuing the woot-off.
In for 1!
